Spanish term
galera
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
Printing & Publishing
I am pretty sure this does not refer to galleys in this context, but rather to this:
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galera_(imprenta)
The context is a story by a Mexican writer:
El hombre que en ese momento seguramente ya sabía que algunas de las galeras salidas de la propia imprenta de Gutenberg eran sólo una serie de restos de papel esparcidos sobre el lugar donde dormía
Thanks

I'm sure you're right, but it's still called a galley. It's where the term galleys meaning proofs comes from.
Here's the Spanish Wikipedia page you cited:
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galera_(imprenta)
The picture of a galley on this page is here, referred to as a "wooden type galley", with this explanation: "Galleys are trays upon which type matter is assembled either as it is set by hand or by machine on which it can be proofed or stored"

Here's a page about Gutenberg:
"Once each line of type was completed, it was moved off the composing stick onto a board known as a galley."

: Sí, pero en el contexto de Wendy se trata de "galeras" en el sentido de "galeradas". La definición 6 del DRAE: 6. f. Impr. galerada (‖ prueba de la composición).

Pues claro. ¡Qué torpe! No había leído bien el contexto. Tienen que ser galeradas. Gracias, John :)

Thanks, Neil ;-) I had a job correcting galley proofs when I was a lad, but they're a thing of the past now.

Galley proof
Penultimate proof of a page being typeset for printing, before it is set (imposed) as a page of a book or booklet. Galley proofs are traditionally printed as a single column on a long strip of paper, and generally do not include illustrations. The next and final proof is usually the page proof. In the modern practice (where the text is set on a computer), galley proofs are dispensed with and instead a page proof are provided.
